The second episode of SBS Plus's 'Real Men’s Travel in Kyushu,' airing on the 28th, reveals the dream fitness journey of these 'real men.' Kim Jong-kook beams with excitement upon arriving at the largest gym in Kyushu, a chain known as the fitness mecca in the U.S. He takes rare selfies and expresses his excitement as if he's at an amusement park.
However, before starting their workout, Choo Sung-hoon and Kim Jong-kook showcase their contrasting 'real men' personas. They discover a 100kg dumbbell, sparking a competitive spirit. Kim Jong-kook testifies, "Choo Sung-hoon has a strong grip and can lift a 100kg dumbbell with one hand." Choo Sung-hoon impressively lifts the dumbbell with one hand without any equipment, proving his reputation with the phrase, "This is Choo Sung-hoon." Amidst cheers from Japanese female fans, attention turns to whether Kim Jong-kook can also lift the 100kg dumbbell with one hand.
In contrast, Daesung reveals his toned abs, sculpted through Pilates, showcasing a different side from his 'real men' brothers. While the others are engrossed in their workout, Daesung quietly continues his cardio on a stepper. Suddenly, he asks, "Do you really work out like this? Comfortably?" and humorously adds, "I can't figure out this show," bringing laughter to the scene.
Additionally, Kim Jong-kook humorously exposes Choo Sung-hoon's beastly side by asking, "Do you turn into a human when the sun rises?" On their first night in Kyushu, Choo Sung-hoon, Kim Jong-kook, and Daesung share a room. Five minutes after everyone falls asleep, Choo Sung-hoon's thunderous snoring emerges. Kim Jong-kook expresses his apologies to Daesung, who jokes, "It reminded me of Jaebeom's 'For You,'" causing more laughter.
The second episode of 'Real Men’s Travel in Kyushu' airs at 8:40 PM.
